The reporters and the audience's strong sense of pride quickly cooled under the questioning of the American representative.
The perfect test results made them forget the fatal problem of long-distance driving.
Now that they have calmed down, they realized a serious problem.
No matter how powerful the Thunderbolt car is, it can't affect the signal base stations all over the city. If the base station is disconnected or has signal fluctuations, it's like a car running out of fuel. No matter how powerful the horsepower is, it can't run.
No wonder Time Magazine and the US Department of Commerce have been against Monster Industries' promotion of long-distance driving.
Now that they think about it, the test just now may have been a problem.
"It's over, we were too proud to remember the problem of the network connection. The American representative is going to get to the bottom of the matter!"
"The American representative has been testing the stability of the 4G network there. Now there are two disconnects, but the Thunderbolt car is not affected at all. It seems that the American representative is right, Monster Industries and the testing center have some unspeakable secrets … "
"If that's true, we've lost all our face internationally. Look at the live broadcast, there are dozens of foreign media outlets. "
"Although I also hope for a miracle, our base station is not good enough. What a disgrace! "
"Dead, dead, I don't dare to watch the live broadcast, it's so embarrassing that I can't breathe."
"So embarrassing that I can't breathe + 1 …"
Countless audience felt so embarrassed that they were about to explode. The atmosphere in the testing center was close to freezing. The paper in the American representative's hand was like a spell.
The changes in the scene made Jayne realize that they had hit the nail on the head, so he emphasized what he had just said and stared at the ugly little old man who had just embarrassed him.
Under his gaze, the Master Craftsman actually spread out his withered hands, and asked indifferently, "And then?"
"Please explain, why is the Thunderbolt car not affected by the 4G network fluctuations?" Jayne was a little angry, this is a serious occasion, Monster Industries has always emphasized the need for scientific evidence, now the evidence is here, but they ignored it.
"Because our Thunderbolt car is not affected by the 4G network." The Master Artisan glanced at him.
"What do you mean?"
"My meaning is very clear. You don't even understand the principles behind the long-range driving of the Thunderbolt car, so how can you be a third-party supervisor?"
The senior technician beside Jayne retorted, "We admit that Huaxia's 4G network coverage is better than America's. This is related to the fact that Huaxia has the largest mobile network user base in the world. We also admit that with the smooth 4G network, the Thunderbolt car can establish an effective connection channel. "
"However, you can't guarantee that the 4G network will always be smooth. Our test results also prove this."
"Your thinking is too limited." The Master Craftsman had a look of "you kid is stupid".
"We are a third-party watchdog. We only believe in industry knowledge." The technician sneered. "In the United States, we also tried to research the technology of autonomous vehicles. However, in order for the computer to recognize the road conditions, it required the car to be connected to the Internet and complicated cloud computing. The 4G network in the US is unable to support the stability of the data flow. "
"Hua Xia's 4G network won't work either. You can't break this law."
"Can … you … really?" The Master Craftsman raised a finger and shook it in front of him. The technician was so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat the old man up.
"This is a 1 + 1 = 2 question. We all know that there can be no other answer." The technician clenched his teeth and emphasized.
"Tell them." Ye Qing signaled the Master Craftsman to say less. This guy was really annoying when he attacked people. However, now was not the time to bicker. There were so many media outlets watching.
"Director Duan, please explain." The Master Craftsman sat down again. "I'm afraid that he won't understand."
"Then I'll explain it to everyone." Director Duan Shuangqing said cheerfully, "In fact, the network problem that everyone has been worried about is precisely the problem that everyone least needs to worry about."
Director Duan Shuangqing's words made the media and the audience watching the live broadcast feel like they had seen the sun from hell. Before this, they were already mentally prepared to lose face internationally. After all, Monster Industries represented Hua Xia.
Why now …
But it didn't make sense. The Thunderbolt car couldn't control the signal base station.
"Well, it's both simple and complicated." After Director Duan Shuangqing finished speaking, he whispered a few words to the technician next to him. Then he continued, "Actually, we said before the test that the remote driving function evaluation was technically feasible. However, at that time, Monster Industries hadn't finished setting up the relevant hardware, so the transportation department rejected this plan. "
"Everyone think about it. Since it's technically feasible, then is a 4G network connection feasible?"
"The answer is no. This is something that everyone understands. Monster Industries understands. We also understand. Therefore, technically feasible, it's not a 4G network. "
"Therefore, the Thunderbolt car doesn't use a 4G network."
One sentence shocked a thousand waves!
This huge turn of events caused the brains of the reporters and the American representative to crash. If not a 4G network, then what?
"That's impossible." The American representative immediately retorted. "The 4G network is the only feasible solution. If not, are we going to use a satellite network? From the ground to space, the signal needs to pass through the ground base station many times. It's more unstable than a 4G network, and the delay is higher. "
"Of course not." Director Duan Shuangqing smiled even more happily. His tone was full of pride that said, "You'll never think of it."
"Everyone must be familiar with Monster Industries' plan to build 5,000 energy service centers across the country."
"I know this. A piece of land south of our company was acquired by Monster Industries. In just half a month, the main building of the energy service center was built. I heard that it will be officially opened in a week." At the media table, a reporter rushed to speak.
"That's right. Monster Industries has built an independent wireless network." As Director Duan Shuangqing's voice fell, an electronic map of Shanghai suddenly appeared on the big screen on the side.
On the map, in the Pudong New District and Songjiang, there were two big green dots flashing constantly. In another area, there was a small red dot flashing constantly. According to the map information, this was the location of the detection center.
"These two green dots are the energy service centers built by Monster Industries in Shanghai. The small red dot is the Thunderbolt car in front of us. "
"That's impossible …" The technical staff of the American representative wanted to refute, but before he could finish, he was stopped by Director Duan Shuangqing.
"I know that the American representative will definitely ask. The distance between the two is more than 20 kilometers. It's impossible for a point-to-point wireless network signal to be transmitted over such a long distance."
The next moment, on the electronic map, there were suddenly more than tens of thousands of small red dots densely packed. These small dots were all over Shanghai, and their positions were irregular.
"Do you understand?" The Master Craftsman shook his head at the American representative.
"You mean, these tens of thousands of small dots are small base stations built by Monster Industries?" The American representative's face instantly became ugly. "This … this … is impossible. We have investigated, Monster Industries has no investment plan for this kind of base station."
"We do not have a base station investment plan, nor do we intend to invest in building a base station. So, it's not tens of thousands of small base stations, it's tens of thousands of Thunderbolt car. "This time, Ye Qing stood up and looked at the shocked eyes of the media.
"This is Monster Industries' secret weapon based on the long-range driving function."
"The energy service center is the nerve node of the long-range driving network. In the near future, it will be spread throughout every city in the country. And the Thunderbolt car is the cell of the network nerve. There is no need for any modification. It directly uses the car's own wireless network module to make a short-distance connection to form an invisible network. This allows every Thunderbolt car with the long-range driving function to be able to drive completely without worry within this network. "
Ye Qing's indifferent voice was no less than a clap of thunder when it reached the ears of hundreds of media personnel present.
So that's how it is!
So that's how it is!
The energy service center is the data processing node of the entire network. The Thunderbolt car in every corner of the city is a transit platform. How long has the Thunderbolt car been on the market? Now there are tens of thousands of them in Shang Hai.
God, is this really possible?
The reporters were so shocked by this news that their minds went blank. They also felt that their previous conservative and stubborn thinking was very laughable.
For half a month, they talked about how unreliable the 4G network was. In the end, Monster Industries did not intend to compete with the hundreds of millions of users in the country for the 4G network. They built their own network.
"The energy service center's 2.4GHz high-speed channel base station can cover a range of 50 kilometers. The distance of the network for each Thunderbolt car depends on the difference in the terrain. The network distance is three to five kilometers. "
"This data, in the eyes of the American representative, is naturally an impossible technology. Because the existing 2.4GHz frequency band is an internationally used public frequency band, it has high frequency and transmission efficiency, but the characteristics of electromagnetic wave attenuation are fast, and it is impossible to spread the distance to a range of 50 kilometers. "
"But we can do it. We use beam forming technology and more advanced communication chips to achieve a longer transmission distance. In the connection just now, this Thunderbolt car did not pass through the relay signal of other cars because the distance is too close. At the same time, the long-range driving function is not open to the public. We can't not get the user's consent to set up the network. "
"When this function is opened, every network user can enjoy the charging subsidy of the energy service center."
